Excellent standard of room. Only thing that disappointed us was the fact we stated we needed a twin room twice in advance of coming. When we got to the room, there was 2 duvets but the bed was not split and even when we did this, it was still sharing one double bed sheet. Thank you to the check in staff who were very kind, especially Lancelot who gave me a phone charger to borrow. We would return again

The balcony had nice views of Geneva. It was located next door to a Lidl grocery. The room had a separate sink and toilet from another sink and tub/shower that I loved. Had a kitchen with a table and great internet. Just a really comfortable and functional room that was very clean.

Good location. Hotel breakfast options very limited. All or nothing buffet overpriced and not worth it. No express options. No coffee available in the mornings at the bar as suggested in their information found in the room. Rooms stuffy and street very loud at night with windows open. Otherwise good location.
